The fact that Chuck Schumer said he was against releasing them leads me to believe that they are not much worse than the original photos.
He's betting that their overblown rhetoric about them will be more damaging than the actual images.

"The fact that Chuck Schumer said he was against releasing them leads me to believe that they are not much worse than the original photos."
My thoughts exactly! If there were something that could be used against Bush, Chucky would be going full-bore ahead.

The way the Senators are reacting, you would think they just witnessed a partial birth abortion.
The hysterical and over the top dramatics, especially from the Democrats, is purely political.
The Democrats are so loathesome, they want the children of America to see sexually explicit photos over their Fruit Loops, when Mommy and Daddy open the morning newpaper .
Somehow they think this helps John Kerry.
From the WaPo article :
"Although it often was difficult to determine what was happening in the photos and videos..."
Bill Nelson of Florida was one of the most excited and breathless Senators to give his review of the photos.
He said "You could not say that there was actually the act of sodomy, but IT APPEARS that that MAY BE the preparation for it."
"Nelson and other lawmakers said they saw NO EVIDENCE OF RAPE or any sexual activity between an American and an Iraqi, although several people reported images of troops having sex with each other. "
"Rep. David E. Price (D-N.C.) said there were images of male Iraqi detainees masturbating, APPARENTLY at the orders of U.S. guards."
This is my personal favorite :
"A House member "shouted out, 'What is this all about?' " but Price said Pentagon officials showing the videos had no answer."
Other media is reporting a photo of an Iraqi " sodomizing himself with a banana " which caused the same sex marriage crowd to get light headed.
